Initially demonstrated in [1]}, [2]}, quantum accelerometers based on cold atom interferometry generate high precision measurements with extremely low drift over a long time period [3]}, [4]}, [5]}. Laboratory experiments demonstrate the accuracy of cold atom accelerometers to be fifty times greater than that of their classical counterparts [6]}, [7]}. This makes cold atom sensors potentially well-suited to inertial navigation systems, where the bias and drift of accelerometers and gyroscopes has a direct impact on the quality of positioning and attitude.
